Modge Podge: God, Gift Box Craft, Update On Life

Update: 

Hey y'all!  Things are rolling on around here.  Kept busy with a camping trip, a visit to family out of town, and now back home getting ready for Christmas and a Christmas party at which I am going to be a vendor.  Yep, that's right, something you didn't know about me, I sew!  I love it.  My passion and side business.  I'll share more on that later. 

Oregano and Bugsy are doing fantastic!  They miss their Daddy oh so much, but are continuing to adjust well.  Random side note, if you EVER have a loved one going away definitely invest into those record-able books. I scooped a couple up last year on Christmas clearance and Oregano's face LIT up when she heard her Daddy's voice reading the book to her.  Worth every penny, even if I had paid full price.  

Gift Box Craft (Craft idea, as promised.): 

Okay, I'm a waste not want not kinda gal.  We all get these little boxes from time to time and they are SO cute and I hate throwing them away, but they have a logo on them and what am I going to do with them?  So, they get thrown away....until now, I dug into the crafty section of my brain and found this idea!

Those boxes previously held a coffee cup and Birchbox items (http://birch.ly/1bixOhc ).  Nice sturdy boxes.  I had in my stash, modge podge and glitter.  I covered the top a little at a time with the glue then dusted it with glitter before the glue dried.  After it set I sprayed the tops with a clear coat of spray paint to lessen the shedding glitter.  It does help, but beware they still shed.  I'm sure that there is a way to stop all shedding, but I don't know what that is at the moment.  Anywho, voila!  There you have it, with a little work  you now have free gift boxes.  You could also cover the tops with fabric, paper, paint, use your imagination!


God:

The thing that is most on my heart right now is this: God has given each one of us an appetite, an insatiable desire for HIM and HIM alone.  We can choose to fill His spot with other things such as money, food, lust, materialistic things and also placing unrealistic demands on people in our life expecting them to fill voids they cannot and were not meant to fill.  That is a spot, a place only for God.  I believe that is a reason why Jesus said in Matthew 6:35 "He who comes to me will never hunger and he who believes in me will never thirst."  Let God fill all of those hungers and thirsts in your life.  He made you that way and is SO very ready to be a bigger part of your life.  


Merry CHRISTmas y'all!
